The Billionaire's Billionaire ✔️

Chapter 36:Still Apple's POV

He chose Sofia. That absolute fucking shoelace. I can't possibly fathom how he could choose her over me, who is clearly so much better. I thought we had something real, and he let me see his vulnerable side. I bet Sofia doesn't know how to do his morning and nightly beauty routines like I do.

I was invited to their second wedding, so I put on a black dress and took two boxes of Kleenex with me. I really don't deserve this, I was supposed to be Adam's Apple. I can't believe he chose his billionaire ex wife over me. I guess that's makes her the Billionaire's Billionaire. Ugh what the fuck, seriously.

I bawled during the ceremony, blowing my nose heavily into the Kleenex. The wedding was so over the top, which I kind of expected because they were billionaires.

"It's beautiful, isn't it," sighed Alyssa, who actually had gotten the internship in Adam's company and was invited to the wedding.

I bawled harder. Alyssa slowly backed away from me.

After the ceremony, I dried my eyes and made my towards the disgustingly happy couple. I was surprised to find Chester there, congratulating them.

"Alexei!" I cried with joy, throwing my arms around him. Perhaps all was not lost. I still had my childhood best friend, who was deeply in love with me. Of course I'm not going to die alone.

"Hello Miss Apple," he says stiffly.

"Hey we should go out for cheese sticks and vodka sometime," I say, winking at him.

"Actually," he says, hesitating a bit. "I don't think that would be entirely appropriate. You see, Elizabeth and I are engaged."

I was flabbergasted. Chester was going to marry Adam's mom? But that means he would be Adam's....

"Daddy!" Cried Adam happily, hugging Chester.

"Uh, please don't call me that," said Chester.

"I can call you whatever I want," said Adam smugly.

"Actually, you cannot," said Elizabeth as she strode over to us. "Not only is Chester your new stepdad, but he is also your boss. Chester and I are taking over the company since you did such a shitty job."

Adam gaped with his mouth open. "So I can't order Chester around anymore?"

"Absolutely not," said Elizabeth firmly, throwing an arm around a grinning Chester.

Wow this is too much to take in. The two men in my exclusive love triangle have both found other people. That is not how this was supposed to go at all. Fricking cheese sticks I hate this author. That soggy pancake has no clue how to write a Billionaire® book, she has to be even dumber than Adam.

Elizabeth left to do some important billionaire activities, so me, Chester, Adam, and Sofia were left alone in the massive garden of her castle, where the reception was taking place.

Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Hobbes spiking Adam's champagne flute with a slice of bread but I decided not to say anything.

So this was it. I was going to go back to being a waitress, struggling to get parts in plays, and not being able to afford cheese sticks. I tried not to feel sorry for myself but it was so hard.

"Hey Adam?" Said Chester suddenly.

"Yes Ches....I mean Dad?" Replied Adam.

"Remember your luxury $17 million dollar place in Paris? Where you third child Hose B lives with his nanny?"

Adam and Sofia looked confused. "I know we have that place but I don't remember having a third child," said Sofia.

"And even if we did have a third child, why would we name him Hose B?" Questioned Adam.

"Because you both thought Jose was too mainstream," said Chester.

Sofia nodded slowly. "That does sound like us. This actually rings a bell. I think we really do have a third child!" Said Sofia to Adam.

"I think so too!" Said Adam. "So how is our little Hose B doing?"

Chester sighed. "He's doing great, he's in kindergarten and doing really well in his quantum physics class. The French education system is much more different, but I think it's well suited to his needs."

"That's my boy!" Said Sofia proudly.

"He's going to grow up to be extremely intelligent, just like me!" Said Adam, beaming.

"Yes well... his nanny is retiring soon, and you need to find a replacement." Said Chester, eyeing me.

"How about Apple!" Said Adam suddenly. "She'll be perfect, what do you think Apple?"

I was dumbfounded. I had no idea they had another kid. I guess it would be pretty cool to live in Paris. I've always wanted to go there. I'd be exposed to different types of cheese, culture, and I might even go back to school and take some acting classes. And it was just one kid, he can't possibly be harder to take care of than Adam.

"Sure," I say, even though I can barely see out of my eyes due to the rivers of mascara than ran down them.

"Great!" Said Adam, clapping me on the back.

"Thank you so much Apple," said Sofia. "You and Hose B will have a personal chef, and we will pay you $100,000 a year to take care of our little boy." She said.

This deal actually sounds really good. I guess Sofia is not really a bitch after all.

After Adam and Sofia left to greet more guests, it was just me and Chester.

"I can't believe they forgot about their youngest child." I said. "How old is Hose B?"

Chester laughed cheekily. "He doesn't exist. I made up the third kid. They do have a luxury home in Paris with a chef though, and looks like they'll be paying you to live there."

"Thank you Chester!" I cried.

Even though things did not go as planned, I still got a happy ending, I suppose. I am ready to start my new life as an actress in France, and a nanny to a nonexistent kid. I'm looking forward to my fresh start, and I am officially done with boys because they are icky and stupid. No more romance, no more dating, ever.

From across the lawn, I saw a tall, handsome blond wink at me. I recognized him from the family portrait in Adam's house- he was Adrian, Adam's fraternal twin brother.

Against my better judgement, I winked back.
